Marilyn Manson Accuser Set to Meet With the FBI
An actress named Bianca Allaine is the latest woman to level claims of abuse against Marilyn Manson — and she says she has an impending meeting with the FBI to discuss those claims.
Allaine tells The Sun that Manson “forcefully kissed her” in 1995, when she was only 16-years-old. She also says he “fondled” other underage friends. She began a sexual relationship with the shocker rocker when she was 19.
Says Allaine:
“I’m going to tell the FBI everything I know, I just hope they don’t let us down.
“They are taking this very, very seriously, which they should.
“I said one day, ‘I can’t take this anymore,’ so I contacted the emergency tip line, he’s terrorized us enough.
“It’s intimidating because I’ve never talked to an FBI agent before, she’s been very nice but I’m still scared.
“Another girl contacted me and claimed she did go to the police after her experience in 1994 but they didn’t do anything, it’s just sickening.
“I told her, ‘Tell the FBI, please’ and she did, but she’s still terrified of speaking out about him.
“Many other women have also told me anonymously they have contacted the FBI, and some have even met with them directly.”
Among them other women who have contacted Allaine, she says, are Game of Thrones actress Esmé Bianco, who made her own allegations against Manson earlier this month.
Assuming the FBI is, indeed, investigating Manson, they join the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, which confirmed its own investigation of the singer last week.
On February 1, the actress Evan Rachel Wood — a star of HBO’s Westworld and Manson’s former fiancée — said that Manson (born Brian Warner) “horrifically abused me for years.” She elaborated on those accusations a week later, at which point she also said that Manson’s wife, Lindsay Usich, and someone named Leslee Lane were “conspiring to release photos of me when I was UNDERAGE, after being given large amounts of drugs and alcohol, after Brian performed on Halloween in Las Vegas, to ‘ruin my career’ and ‘shut me up.’”
While Wood has implied in the past that Manson abused her, this has been the first time she explicitly named the shock rocker. Since then, there’s been a deluge of similar accusations from other women. Earlier, a former assistant claimed that he had seen Manson physically and emotionally abuse Usich.
Manson has called the previous accusations against him “horrible distortions of reality.” But the fallout has already been tremendous, with the singer being dropped by his label, Loma Vista, and his agency, CAA. He was also fired from television roles on the programs American Gods and Creepshow and by his longtime manager, Tony Ciulla, who dropped his client after 25 years of working together.
Two former Manson collaborators, Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland and Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor, have both spoken out against the shock rocker. Borland called Manson “a bad fucking guy” and asserted that his victims “are speaking the truth,” while Reznor said that he has “been vocal over the years about my dislike of Manson as a person and cut ties with him nearly 25 years ago.” He also denied, not for the first time, a story from Manson’s memoir, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, in which the singer claims that he and Reznor plied two women with alcohol and then took advantage of them once they were heavily inebriated.
Otep frontwoman Otep Shamaya shared an unsettling story about Manson over the weekend, as did singer/songwriter Phoebe Bridgers. The actor Corey Feldman has also accused Manson of “decades [of] mental and emotional abuse.”
Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and manager, addressed calls to comment on Manson by saying her relationship with him was strictly business and that she wasn’t privy to his personal life.
On Wednesday, February 3, police reportedly “swarmed” Manson’s home after a friend contacted authorities to say they couldn’t reach the singer and were concerned for his well-being. Although Manson never emerged from his house, a rep for the singer told police he was “fine.”
California State Senator Susan Rubio has requested that the FBI investigate Manson. There has been no word as to whether or not her request has been granted, or if the LA Sheriff’s investigation or Allaine’s meeting with the FBI is in any way connected to Rubio’s request.
